Modern art for your walls

Inspiration for different styles of art

In a modern home, the focus is often on minimalist design, clean lines and a neutral color palette. When it comes to art for the walls of a modern home, there are several options to consider. Here are some ideas for art prints and originals that will fit well in a modern home:

• Abstract paintings: Choose paintings with abstract shapes and lines in neutral colors such as white, grey, beige or black. These paintings can add a touch of modernity and depth to the room.
• Minimalist photographs: Look for photographs that have a minimalist expression and simplicity of composition. Black and white images or photographs with a single object or landscape in focus can be an elegant choice.
• Geometric prints: Geometric patterns and shapes are very popular in modern interior design. Consider choosing prints or posters with geometric patterns or abstract shapes in colors that match your decor.
• Nature motifs: Choose paintings or photographs of nature motifs that create a calm and relaxed atmosphere in the room. It can be forest landscapes, sea views or floral motifs. However, keep the color palette in nature in neutral tones to match the modern look.
• Line drawings: Choose simple and stylish line drawings and combine them with minimalist visual art to create a modern and meaningful expression.
• Collages: Modern collages can be an exciting way to add interest and dynamism to your home. Choose collages with different textures, colors and materials that create a unique visual expression. You can see an example of a picture collage from Mette Handberg here, as well as in the picture below:

You can familiarize yourself with different styles and artists, and choose works of art that speak to you and fit into the overall design concept of your home.

• Minimalist Geometric Print: A simple and stylish geometric print in black and white or neutral colors can add a modern and graphic aesthetic to your space. You can choose simple shapes like triangles, circles or lines arranged in a harmonious way.
• Abstract painting in vivid colors: An abstract painting with bold colors can create an eye-catching and modern expression on your walls. Choose colors that complement your decor and add a lively atmosphere to the room.
• Modern portrait: A stylish portrait in a modern style can add personality and depth to your walls. Choose a portrait created with modern techniques or a modern interpretation of a traditional portrait.
• Photography of architecture: A beautiful photograph of modernist architecture or an iconic building can add a modern and urban atmosphere to your home. Choose an image that highlights interesting lines, shapes or details in the architecture.
• Digital Artwork: Explore the contemporary expression of digital artwork. There are many digital artists who create unique and futuristic works to decorate the wall. This can add a modern and technological touch to your space.

Remember to choose images that suit your personal style and preference, and that harmonize with the decor of your modern home. You can find these types of artworks from local artists, online art markets, or in specialized galleries. My tip is to combine different styles, but keep an eye out for a balance between the work prints and priginals. There should be (preferably) a contrast between them. If you want to simplify the look, you can choose frames in the same shades and thicknesses.
